Yes, many beliefs. Council of Nicaea 325 AD called by Constantine. Bishops from all over the “known” world met & decided what books would remain in the Bible & what would go. These were the Elite church leaders. Late night radio talk show. .lady guest was discussing reincarnation. Guy calls & states “reincarnation is not in the Bible” She replied: “it was in but they(church leaders) took it out at that time.” Also I suppose anything that conflicted with held beliefs of the time. Maybe also reports in some books of flying things in the skies,also a no-no. So the Bible was edited. The most powerful at the time got their way. Lots of different translations, Protestant Bible 66 books.Catholic73 books. Ethiopian 81 books. Can we agree to disagree?
Any truth will be shocking to the stunningly ignorant.
-
Martin Luther King Jr. called “sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity” particularly dangerous.
-
George Orwell noted the influence of the ignorant, stating, “It’s frightful that people who are so ignorant should have so much influence”.
-
Karl Popper described it as not the absence of knowledge, but the refusal to acquire it.
the point of the post is there are records that Jesus existed and was crucified…
although I see it has taken us to a discussion…
IMHO there are 2 individuals here that will simply refuse to discuss…
sure SEEMS like they will NOT look at anything that might change there viewpoint???
got fed up with that sorta thing… oh even got accused of pickin on em???
so I just placed em both on ignore… IMHO I don’t need that sort of attitude…
I don’t think anyone here thinks Jesus didn’t exist. To me the question is is Jesus God. Since there is no clear definition of who God is I don’t see how anybody can make that distinction. The question for me is does Jesus exist and the answer is yes where two or more are gathered in His name.
There seems to be nothing HUMBLE about your opinion. You simply dictate how things will be carried out. Then you said, “Folks refuse to look at anything but what they believe is the only way.” I quoted you so many times and pointed out differences in what you believe and what I do, so I truly think you are in error. It seems to me to reflect the way you conduct yourself and less about Me. You wish to dismiss those that do not parrot your beliefs, then actually discuss them.
In conclusion, I am thankful you have blocked me and run and hidden, presumably under your bed. I like to discuss things with adults with ideas, not pratty children who throw a fit if not given their way.
We should do lunch soon.
This is exactly correct. There are plenty of stories told about a man. Just like many other deities. Doesn’t mean their divinity cannot be in question.
How it breaks down in the world.
- Christianity: About 31% (2.4 billion).
- Islam: About 25% (2 billion).
- Unaffiliated: Around 16% (1.2 billion).
- Hinduism: About 15% (1.2 billion).
- Buddhism: About 7% (500 million).
If you want to say more people believe in Christianity than any other, please keep in mind all these groups believed the world was flat at one point and you could sail off it.
Thank God, they took that part out because I am of the firm belief. I would come back as a dog, and my wife would come back as a flea and still be on my back.
You know a lot of people are not aware of this. Even people of faith. I know from discussions with them. They also are unaware of the old Hebrew text about Lilith that came before Eve. She was created from the Nefesh that God breathed into the sand to create Adam.
